Last summer, Steve Garvey was in Spokane for the retirement of his jersey. He was advertised as being there for one night but actually showed up to the game the night before. I saw him standing by himself after the game and got a photo with him. Got it printed and brought it back the next night to have it autographed (the pic below).
The rest of the story is that I brought my friend to that second game. He was a HUGE Garvey fan as a kid in Spokane. He mailed Garvey a letter and actually got a response. He's kept that letter all these years and brought it with him to the game to show to Steve. Garvey was THRILLED to see it and you could tell it really made his night seeing it. Both nights, Mr. Garvey could not have been nicer or more pleasant. He was happy to talk to us, sign autographs, take pictures, whatever the heck we wanted. My friend, obviously, was ecstatic over how it all went down. ![]() Last edited by Tabe; 02-04-2016 at 04:04 PM. |
